Capicu


In the game of Dominoes, "Capicu" (pronounced "ca-pee-coo") means "the game is closed"--it's over. Exploding from the dark street corners of The Bronx, Capicu is a Latin artist who can spit for the 'hood and the radio. Years spent living in Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, and each of the five boroughs of New York City contributes to his smooth, lyrical versatility, seamlessly switching between English and Spanish.
A child surrounded by guns, drugs and violence, Capicu was already composing rhymes at the age of nine, and by the age of eleven, he was performing in front of live audiences. Unfortunately, the call of the street was too strong, and Capicu ended up honing his hip-hop skills while hustling on the corner. After seeing many friends locked up or killed, Capicu decided to turn all his energies towards his music. Dropping his mixtapes from The Bronx to Washington Heights to Bushwick and beyond, before he knew it, Capicu was blowin' away audiences at clubs and festivals, opening for acts such as Nina Sky, Zion y Lenox and Tony Touch.
